I’m not sure what you were watching, but after watching the interview myself, I have to disagree with your generalised negative sentiment to what Cory was actually saying. After the slightly alarming title to this post, I viewed the interview to see what it was that got you upset, but nothing that warranted your misleading statements was forthcoming. From my POV, Cory was completely candid in what he said and there was absolutely zero negative spin towards XRP IMHO. Anyway, I thank you for posting this thread regardless, because the startling headline did prompt me to view the interview myself

Now that it’s out there, I have an admission...I ....well.........I sometimes - Oh dear God forgive me....I sometimes have... impure thoughts about XRP.... I feel so dirty ..the shame...oh the shame...?

Wow - I honestly always thought it was ‘Alan’ from the Hangover movies ... definitely a resemblance... don’t you reckon?

At what point do you admit you need to replace the ‘Tro’ in your username with ‘Wa’?

Sorry Leprecoin, but hard to take your ‘professionalism’ call seriously - you’re just a freakin’ little leprechaun taking a dump in a hat full of gold coins. You need to pack that empty pipe you got there, take a puff and chill ya dill out (along with all the other complainers).

It’s easy - as we both know, all you need is to view the ‘real’ with sarcasm and negativity, veiled with a smattering of passive aggressive. You taught me that - kudos??

Captain Marbles, your posts are indeed insightful, if not a tad contentious. Speaking from my own perspective, I find your writing style positively patronising, delivered with an opinionated air of self-righteous obnoxiousness. Please don’t be offended, it’s just when I see much of the language you choose to use, I can’t help but imagine you lounging in front of an open fireplace, in a red satin gown and puppy-fur plush slippers, pondering over your next pompous post, holding a large glass of red in one hand with the other fondling (disturbingly and all too frequently) under your gown, as wisp

...and you, Sceptic, are a spectacular *unt. Be honest.... haha

Just watched the clip from the thread about Ripple’s fantastically generous donation to the organisation ‘Donors Choose’ on The Late Show tonight where the host -Stephen Colbert - was searching for a way to describe the magnitude and how big an impact the donation would make, built up to the term ‘a Sploosh’. This description immediately made me think of this thread and how the word ‘Sploosh’ suited the definition you gave perfectly (me thinks anyway, haha)...

Well done Ripple - your generosity, along with the outstanding way in which all of the company’s representatives always present and conduct themselves, is second to none. Wherever this crypto tide takes us, I am proud of your efforts in making the world a better place. Kudos ?

....so then this mushroom walks into a bar and attempts to order a drink, but the bartender stops him short, saying ‘I’m sorry, but we don’t serve your kind here’, to which the mushroom replies ‘Well why ever not? I’m a fun guy’....

Go XRP....Go you good thing

Haha....totally agree... no need to get so ‘butthurt’ by this hy’poo’thetical..perhaps some were feeling a little too threatened by the ‘Analcoin’ suggested in the OP’s scenario...cracks me up .. haha... ‘butthurt’

Stefan Thomas tweet below: We (@Ripple) just published a formal proof of Ripple Consensus and a new open graph consensus algorithm called Cobalt: ripple.com/insights/conti… #consensus #research - Shoutout to my colleagues Ethan MacBrough and Brad Chase driving this work! https://t.co/AM8nGOpsQy

Absolutely brilliant I say. Deserves to go down in history as an insightful classic. Well done?? .....and thanks- love your work??
